ECM Relay Replacement (urgent)
So I suspect my ECM relay went bad. Rebuilt the motor over the winter, fired her up and it idled fine, did a few restarts while checking items and now it wont start. No power to the coils at all. Checked the ECM fuse and thats fine, only other item in the way is the relay. I have done some digging and Nissan says you have to replace the entire IDPM, but I have seen some talk about guys swapping just the relay from other vehicle models. Does anyone have experience with this? I have to get this running by Thursday to make my tune date, otherwise I cant get tuned until mid July.

The FSM has some good info in the EC section.
Use your multimeter to check all the harness connections.

But my point to the OP and others having the same problem is go carefully read the FSM prior to coming here to ask why their vehicle won't start with no spark.

Any new reader to this thread, having the same problem, may find ANY added info helpful, regardless of HOW long it was added, after the op posted, Talking
